Seems kind of high anyways but was wondering if it was any good or not.

I saved $160 and ground mine down with a grinder by a couple inches. A new knob went on fine and it works well. I never tried a short shift kit but cutting your own is an alternative.

I have one that goes on the gearbox, less expensive than that. Works great, makes a HUGE difference. . .one of those "factory should have done it" upgrades.

Was the one that installs on the gear box difficult to do?

[Rasta Monsta]

Nope, but the box was on the ground! Seriously, though, it shouldn't be too hard. You need a 10, 13 & 17, wire cutters, loctite and safety wire. No more than an hour job, IMO.

I just did the same with the transaxle installed, and it also only took about 1 hour. Very easy to do - just make sure you install safety wire!

Safety wire? Where?

[jacketfan89]

Theres a hole in the lockbolt that holds the shifter tube to the gear box that you can put safety wire through so the bolt won't come undone while you're driving! I just had to clip mine off. I'm not sure how to put it back on when I put the transmission back in the car. I guess I'll figure it out! Or someone on here will answer in like 20 minutes. LoL

[thewerxracing]

Ok. Where?

[Rasta Monsta]

Through bolt "G". . .if there is no hole through the head, you may not have the factory part.

[thewerxracing]

Hmmm... I do have that bolt laying around here somewhere. That one was throw in to get the linkage sorted out.
